66 NUDARIA; PAUROPHLEPS; PHILENORA. By Dr. A. Seitz. 
(Genus: Xudaria Hew.) 
Pagenstecher mentions from this genus two African species as „Nudaria spec.“ without denominating or sufficiently 
characterizing them. The specimens that were before him originated from Quilimana in East Africa, for which reason Strand 
proposes the names N. quilimanensis and quilimanicola. But it is rather improbable that the genus Nudarici is represented at 
all in Africa. The insects are unknown to me. 
3. Genus: Paurophleps Hmps. 
Only 1 very small yellow species without proboscis and palpi. Neuration very simple, subcostal vein 
with 3 branches. Antennae of with strongly defined joints, uniformly clad with short and dense hair. Hind 
tibiae only with terminal spurs. • 
P. minuta Hmps. is almost exactly like Philenora bijuga (8 g), but only about half its size. Dark 
yolk-coloured. Forewing with 2 fine black dots in the centre of the cell and at its end. $ unknown. Cape 
Colony. 
4. Genus: Philenora Rosenst. 
We have already stated in Vol. X, where the genus is described (p. 133), that this genus is confined 
to the Indo-Australian and Ethiopian Regions. Most of the species are Papuan or Madagascan. By the recent 
exploration of New Guinea some more forms of the genus have been discovered, so that there are 18 Indo- 
Australian forms known to-day, all of which are from New Guinea and Australia except one penetrating to 
Siam and Formosa. To-day also several species are placed hereto, that had been inserted in other genera 
by their authors, such as aroa B.-Balc. ( Schistophleps ), aspectalella Wkr. (Padenia , sometimes misprinted as 
aspectella or aspectatella) and others, 
Ph. bijuga Mab. (8 g) was hitherto only found in Madagascar. Quite similar to a very large specimen 
of the preceding Paurophleps minuta. 
Ph. marmorea Btlr. (8 g). White, forewing in the basal third except the hindmarginal part, and an 
oval spot at the posterior angle brown; a brown arcuate stripe from the costa to the centre of the distal margin. 
Betsileo (Madagascar). 
Ph. placida Btlr. (8 g). Dark yellow, behind the basal fourth of the forewing a somewhat oblicpie trans¬ 
verse stripe, a postmedian S-shaped stripe, and in the marginal area a transverse shadow forming two bows. 
Betsileo. 
Ph. parvula Btlr. (8 g). Wings more elongate than in the preceding. Colouring greyish-brown; in the 
basal part of the forewing a white looped stripe; behind the centre an angular, and before the margin a curved, 
proximally dark-shaded, light transverse stripe; behind the cell-end a blackish dot. Hindwing dingy white. 
Betsileo. 
Ph. punctata Hmps. (8 g) is much larger, the forewing intensely dotted blackish on a pale yolk-coloured 
ground, almost as in a Siccia, hindwing with a dot above at the cell-end. Madagascar. 
Ph. asuraeformis Strd. Expanse of wings: 16% mm. Similar to an Asura, with darker forewings and 
paler straw-coloured hindwings; forewing with a shortened subbasal violettish-brown band bifurcating right 
behind the centre towards the costa; from this band a longitudinal stripe extends towards the margin. Lindi 
(East Africa). 
Ph. m-nigrum Mab. (8 g). Only the $ is known; on the honey •—• coloured ground of the forewing there 
are some scattered subbasal dots and an angular postmedian stripe passing behind the cell-end dot, as well 
as dark marginal dots. Madagascar. 
Ph. pluripunctata Mab. Described according to a $ (in the Paris Museum) discovered in the Bay of 
Antongil (Madagascar) by Mac Querys. Size of Ph. bijuga (8 g). Forewing in the submedian area tinted with 
a yellowish red, at the hind-margin paler, above it before the centre a black dot. In the centre of the cell 
and at its end also a dot; of the angular postmedian stripe of m-nigrum there are only punctiform traces left. 
Hindwing dingy white, with a brown dot at the cell-end. 
Ph. bipuncta Hmps. (8 h). Dirty brown, on the forewing a basal ray below the costal margin and some 
small dots in and behind the cell are black. Madagascar, also found in Cape Colony. 
Ph. unicolor Hpfjr. This very variable species is widely distributed in the Ethiopian Region, across the 
whole of South and East xAfrica as far as Somali Land and Madagascar. Typical specimens are very similar 
to Ph. bijuga (8 g), but exhibit a more orange ground-colour. - —- imminuta Saalm. (8 h), exhibiting some more 
dark dots on the forewings than typical specimens, comes from Madagascar. —- ferruginea Btlr., from Mozam¬ 
bique, is more rust-coloured; across the forewing beneath a small band extends, being scarcely visible above.
